Many Cases Continued-Important
Decision: Rendered in Telephone
Case.
Durham Superior Court for the
trial of civil cases adjourned last
Saturday afternoon. The cases
settled after The Recorder went
to press Friday were as follows:
CHAPPEL CASE ENDED.
The time of the court Friday
was taken up principally by the
case of E. E. Chappell V3. the
North Carolina Railroad com
pany, in which Chappell was ask
ing for damages in the sum of
$7,500. The evidence in this
case tended to show that while
plaintiff was in Durham driving
a team of mules near the Bull
factory the team became fright
ened. That they were fright
ened more by the escape of
steam and blowing of the whistle,
which he claimed was deliberate
on the part of the engineer,
than otherwise. After the evi
dence was all in the railroad at
torneys did not offer anything
to offset but asked for a non
suit, and it was decided to let
the jury have the caae without
any evidence on the part of the
road.
After being out all night the
jury returned a verdict in favor
of the plaintiff for $2,050 dam
ages. MANNING AND MANN WON..
As was told in our last issue
the case of Drs. Manning and
Mann was argued before the
judge. Judge Allen decided that
the telephone people had no
right to charge extra for one
'phone where two used it.
In order to understand the
case it will be necessary to go
back to the beginning. Dr.
Manning and Dr. Mann occupied
adjoining offices and they used
the same telephone. This con
tinued for sometime and finally
it wa3 decided by the telephone
managementthat the price should
be advanced from $3.50 to $5 on
this account. The advance was
made and refusal to pay the new
nrice not the matter into the
a
courts.
First there was a discontinu
ation of the service and then an
injunction proceedings got the
service back into commission.
In ordering that the service be
restored until such time as the
couits should finally settle the
matter the court directed that
Drs. Manning and Mann pay the
regular price of $1.50 and give
bond to protect the company in
case there was a decision against
thern. This was done.
When the case was called be
fore the jury this week Judge
Allen decided that it was not a
case for the jury but was one of
law and for the court. He too
the matter under consideration
and rendered the decision that
in effect says that the company
has no right to charge additional
for a service of this kind-that
if the telephone is rented and
paid for the company has
nothing to do with the use of
the phone.
The attorneys for the company
gave notice of appeal but, it is
not known whether the case will
go up or whether the present
decision will be allowed to stand.
After the disposal of this case
Saturday morning the case of
Mrs. Matthews against the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance com
pany for $500 the amount of a
policy on the life of her husband.
The jury gave a verdict in her
favor.
During the day Saturday sev-
'era! judgements were signed and
cleaned up, aajthe terrh came to
an end. Judge Allen goes to
Wilson to hold court this week,
and Judge Council, who was to
have been here at the two weeks
term, was not able to come, so
the last week of thi3 term could
not be held.

Alfred H. Moment, pastor of the
